Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hollywood, Interrupted is a sometimes frightening, occasionally sad, and frequently hysterical odyssey into the darkest realms of showbiz pathology, the endless stream of meltdowns and flameouts, and the inexplicable behavior on the part of show business personalities. Charting celebrities from rehab to retox, to jails, cults, institutions, near-death experiences and the Democratic Party, Hollywood, Interrupted takes readers on a surreal field trip into the amoral belly of the entertainment industry. Each chapter — covering topics including warped Hollywood child-rearing, bad medicine, hypocritical political maneuvering and the complicit media — delivers a meticulously researched, interview-infused, attitude heavy dispatch which analyzes and deconstructs the myths created by the celebrities themselves. Celebrities somehow believe that it's their god-given right to inflict their pathology on the rest of us. Hollywood, Interrupted illustrates how these dysfunctional dilettantes are mad as hell... And we're not going to take it any more.

Download or read book Setting the Record Straight written by Frank P. Skinner and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2023-04-11 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Setting the Record Straight: A Compleat History of the Alternate States of America tells the story of our country's history, from the time that Christopher Columbus set sail with his three ships, right up to, and even beyond our time in the twenty-first century. Unlike most history books, it takes an alternative approach by, as the subtitle suggests, telling the story in a unique way. The author uses humor and satire to full effect as he covers the major events that have occurred in our nation over the past five centuries in a humorous, entertaining, and irreverent manner. The book is organized mostly by presidential administrations, with a few extra chapters included to "fill in the gaps" and inform the reader of other parts of our history. Each president has his own chapter, with Grover Cleveland (because he had American history's only split term of office*) and Fascist Delano Roosevelt (because his term in office was comprised of two distinct phases) having two chapters each. Poor old Abraham Lincoln is forced to share his chapter with his rival, Confederate States president Jefferson Davis. In this first of three volumes, the author covers the first four centuries of America's existence, from Columbus's discovery of America in 1492 to the eve of the Great Big War, which broke out in 1914. Volume 2 will cover the bulk of the twentieth century, from the run-up to the Great Big War through the end of the Stone-Cold War, which occurred when the Berlin Wall was torn down in 1989 and the Warsaw Pact and the Soviet Onion itself disintegrated shortly thereafter. The last volume picks up with Bill Clinton's Bridge Over Troubled Water to the 21st century and takes the reader through to the real end of history. The author pulls no punches, skewering the so-called Great Men of History, left and right, and bringing them back down to earth. He plays no favorites, aiming his barbs at Republicraps and Democraps, conservatives and liberals alike. He presents the landscape of American history as a target-rich environment comprised of forty-four presidents (forty-five if you include Davis), most of whom were legends in their own minds, who are in serious need of outrageous lampoonery! The reader may notice that this does not include Presidents Trump and Bite Me. The reason for this will become obvious when the reader reaches the end of Volume 3, with its sudden and shocking climax. *If Donald Trump should win the presidency again in 2024, he will join Cleveland in this regard, becoming the second president to have a split term.

Download or read book The Cinema of Clint Eastwood written by David Sterritt and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-11-25 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He became a movie star playing The Man With No Name, and today his name is known around the world. Measured by longevity, productivity, and profits, Clint Eastwood is the most successful actor-director-producer in American film history. This book examines the major elements of his career, focusing primarily on his work as a director but also exploring the evolution of his acting style, his long association with screen violence, his interest in jazz, and the political views – sometimes hotly controversial – reflected in his films and public statements. Especially fascinating is the pivotal question that divides critics and moviegoers to this day: is Eastwood a capable director with a photogenic face, a modest acting talent, and a flair for marketing his image? Or is he a true cinematic auteur with a distinctive vision of America's history, traditions, and values? From A Fistful of Dollars and Dirty Harry to Million Dollar Baby and beyond, The Cinema of Clint Eastwood takes a close-up look at one of the screen's most influential and charismatic stars.

Download or read book Screams Nightmares written by Brian J. Robb and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2022-04-07 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writer, producer, and director Wes Craven has successfully tapped into the horror vein for over forty years, serving up scary, funny, cutting-edge thrillers that have become classics in the genre. His films have been both critical and commercial successes, most notably Nightmare on Elm Street, which spawned a series of sequels and made Craven (and his creation, Freddy Kruger) an international sensation. He then created a second indelible series in the horror movie trope with Scream. In Screams & Nightmares, Brian J. Robb examines Craven's entire career, from his low-budget beginnings to his most recent box office hits, from the banned thriller The Last House on the Left and the cult classic The Hills Have Eyes to the outrageous Shocker and The People Under the Stairs. Through exclusive interviews with Craven, Robb provides in-depth accounts of the making of each of the films – including the final instalments of the Scream series – Craven's foray into writing novels, and his numerous television projects.

Download or read book Delete Hyperianism The New Face of Cults In the Twenty First Century written by Dave Sinclair and published by Magus Books. This book was released on with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Articles by investigative journalist David G. McAfee, an expert on cults, have revealed what many people have been saying for years, that the New Age group known as "Hyperianism", with several hundred fanatical followers and two millionaire backers, is a dangerous cult. The leader of this cult calls himself "Morgue", a suitably cult-like appellation. Other names he uses are Morgen Night, the Night Bringer (89) and the Terror of Men. Hyperianism preaches a highly disturbing ideology revolving around Woke extremism, and it could easily be considered a hate group, encouraging people to say "No" to normality and to normal people. Hyperianism detests mainstream society. The leader of the cult is a gender radical preaching a message that androgyny constitutes a higher state, and he says that his cult is for people who are "higher than human", and "beyond human". He even says that he does not identify as human! His misogyny is self evident in this comment: "I can not count how many times some 'spray on tan' slut has inquired in disbelief why I dress the way I do, or do the things I do. 'It's not sexy', she informs me. Such stupidity makes me want to strangle the bitch. Why should I be concerned if other people find me attractive in any way? Should I change my identity, for a waste producing organ between the legs? ... Morbidly Yours, Morgue" This toxic leader constantly asks for financial support from people who are clearly highly vulnerable and being groomed by him. The sheer number of brainwashing techniques in evidence is astonishing. All his life, as a street performer and expert in NLP, Morgue has perfected the art of getting the weak-minded to pay him for "putting on a show". It's essential for whistleblowers to expose these sinister cults and their even more sinister leaders, who do enormous damage to susceptible individuals who are easily psychologically manipulated and exploited by those on the Dark Triad spectrum of narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy. This book is all about blowing the whistle on this dangerous cult and ensuring that people are warned about what they are dealing with should they ever encounter members of this cult or its sinister leader. Judge for yourselves whether Hyperianism is harmless, or a sick, twisted cult that people must be warned about to stop more falling into its trap.
